In 1982 (exact date unknown), Shrii Shrii Anandamurti gave a discourse in which were set out the requirements for a ''perfect kiirtan''. Many other topics were also addressed, for example the appropriate ideation to be taken while practicing kiirtan and why a siddha mantra must have eight syllables. This discourse was distributed in the form of [[:wikipedia:Cyclostyle (copier)|cyclostyled]] sheets under the title of "Bio-psycho-spiritual System of Kiirtan". Ac. Abhidevananda Avadhuta kept secure his copy of that discourse. In the mid-1990s he submitted his copy to the Central Publications Department, which had put out a request for any lost discourses. However, this discourse was not published until 2002. And in 2002, it was published in a mangled form (minus the explanatory Samskrta and with misleading rather than constructive footnotes). Below is the complete discourse in its original form and with useful footnotes.
